Electrolux TE1120 - User Manual

This document serves as a user manual for the Electrolux Professional TE1120 Tumble Dryer, providing comprehensive instructions for its operation, maintenance, and safety.

The TE1120 Tumble Dryer is designed for commercial and industrial use, offering efficient drying of various fabric types. It features both automatic and time-based drying programs. Automatic programs utilize moisture detection to stop when the desired dryness level is achieved, while time programs run for a preset or selected duration. The appliance supports a maximum dry cloth load of 8 kg.

Key usage features include:

Program Selection: Users can select programs using a program dial, with the display showing the cycle time or price to start.
Automatic Programs: These programs, such as "Cotton Eco," "Normal," and "Low," are designed for different fabric types (cotton, terry, synthetics) and dryness levels (extra dry, cupboard dry, iron dry). The "Cotton Eco" program is highlighted as the "Standard cotton program" for drying normal wet cotton laundry, optimized for energy consumption.
Time Programs: For cotton, terry, synthetics, and delicate fabrics, users can select specific drying times. An "Airing" program is also available for items like bedspreads and duvets.
Options: Several options enhance drying flexibility:
- Half load (1/2): For drying smaller loads.
- Extra dry: To achieve a higher level of dryness.
- Cupboard dry: Ensures laundry is ready for storage.
- Iron dry: Prepares laundry for ironing.
- Care: Extends the anti-crease phase at the end of the cycle to 90 minutes, preventing creases. Laundry can be removed during this phase.
Time Adjustment: The "Time" option allows users to increase drying time in 5-minute steps.
Auto Off Function: To conserve energy, the appliance automatically turns off if the Start/Pause button is not pressed within 5 minutes or 5 minutes after a cycle ends.
Coin-Operated Machine Compatibility: The appliance can be connected to a coin-operated machine for use in public settings.
Adjustable Moisture Degree: Users can adjust the default remaining laundry moisture degree to suit their preferences.
Reversible Door: The appliance door can be reversed for easier loading and installation.
Accessories: The dryer supports various accessories, including a stacking kit for pairing with washing machines, a draining kit for automatic condensate drainage, and a pedestal with a drawer for ergonomic loading and storage.

Maintenance features are crucial for optimal performance and longevity:

Filter Cleaning: The filter must be cleaned after each drying cycle. A "Filter" symbol on the display indicates when cleaning is needed or if the filter is missing. Regular cleaning prevents clogged filters, which can lead to longer cycles and increased energy consumption. Users are advised to clean the filter by hand or with a vacuum cleaner, avoiding water.
Water Container Emptying: The condensed water container should be emptied after each drying cycle. If the container is full, the program automatically stops, and a "Reservoir" symbol appears on the display. If a draining kit is installed, the container drains automatically, and the indicator can be permanently deactivated.
Condenser Cleaning: If the "Condenser" symbol flashes, the condenser and its compartment need cleaning. This involves opening the condenser door, unlocking the cover, pulling out the condenser, and rinsing it with a hand shower over a basin.
Drum Cleaning: The drum's inner surface and lifters should be cleaned with a standard neutral soap detergent and a soft cloth. Abrasive materials or steel wool should not be used.
Control Panel and Housing Cleaning: The control panel and housing can be cleaned with a moist cloth and a standard neutral soap detergent, then dried with a soft cloth. Furniture cleaning agents or corrosive cleaning agents should be avoided.
Airflow Slots Cleaning: A vacuum cleaner should be used to remove fluff from the airflow slots.

Before first use, it is recommended to clean the drum with a moist cloth and run a short program with moist laundry. The manual also provides detailed troubleshooting steps for common issues, such as the dryer not operating, unsatisfactory drying results, and error messages, guiding users on how to resolve them or when to contact a service center.
